Katherine observed Elijah doting on Klaus' baby mama and it irked her. She knew he'd had relationships with other women in the centuries they had been separated but she had never had to see him with any of them. Yes, he had had to see her with Klaus but she had fallen in love with Elijah. She hated the way his hand patted her shoulder and the gentle smile he bestowed upon her as he turned to walk back into the sitting room.

It couldn't be! Katherine knew she was human and frail, with only Klaus' hybrid blood sustaining her but he had always loved HER. Katherine walked to the pregnant werewolf.

"You had best not let Klaus see that." Katherine snarled.

"What?"

"Elijah doting on you and your child," Katherine answered incredulously. Could the girl really be that impervious to Klaus' ways?

"Klaus can be rather nasty if one he preceives as his catches Elijah's eye."

"There's nothing between Elijah and me except friendship and respect." Hayley venomously continued,

"Besides, aren't you the love of Elijah's life or would the beautiful Celeste get that honor?"

The mention of another woman occupying Elijah's heart and bed, even gaining his love set Katherine's teeth on edge. She decided she too could hit below the belt,

"You should heed my warning, I too was once Klaus'." Katherine had the wolf's undivided attention, "He caught Elijah and me playing an innocent game of tag."

Katherine paused for dramatic effect.

"He dragged me to his quarters, put me over his knee, threw my dress over my head, tore off all of my underclothes and spanked me until I begged him to stop."

She was lost in her memories. Her humanity had the unfortunate side effect of making her sentimental,

"Then he threw me down, ripped off the rest of my dress and fucked me for most of the night. And though I hate that bastard I will readily admit he gave me the greatest orgasm, well orgasms, I've ever had. His tremendous stamina and the blood on his clothes should have tipped me off to what he was but you know very well," Katherine's eyes fell to the growing bump of the child,

"Just how distracting he can be."

Hayley had no doubt about the truth of Katherine's story. She knew just how possessive Klaus could be. Hayley was not a jealous woman by nature, she was at her core a pragmatist. She knew all of the men she'd been with had pasts and she knew her 1000 year old lover must have had thousands of conquests. There was no reason to be jealous. But nonetheless Hayley was shocked at Katherine's story. His hatred of Katherine was bone deep, she never would have guessed that they'd been lovers.

Klaus interrupted what he perceived as a very contentious meeting between the two women. He had heard a bit of the conversation, enough to infuriate him. Klaus grabbed Katherine but the arm and with brutal force broke it, leaving it hanging at a ghastly angle. Then in a flash he had his wrist open, feeding her his healing blood.

"Katerina, you know better than to speak out of school."

Rubbing her now completely healed arm Katherine backed away. She knew he'd keep her alive but that he was capable of harming her human form in unspeakable ways.

"Was that really necessary?" Hayley just shook her head at his antics as he put an arm around her non existent waist and led her to the sitting room.

"No, but it was immensely enjoyable."

Walking into the large sitting room, Hayley noticed hundreds of candles lit and Father Kieran sitting with Elijah and Marcel sharing a vintage bottle of Bordeaux. All three stood as she entered.

"If you don't control Katerina, 'Lijah, I'll be forced to."

The threat hung unspoken in the air.

"I still don't understand why you have allowed her to live. After chasing her for 500 years you have her, sleeping in your home, healing her." Hayley had used Katherine and even admired her tenacity. Her remarkable ability to survive but when she sent one of her lackeys after her, Hayley ceased to care what happened to her.

"I still owe Elijah for daggering him and turning him over to Marcel." Klaus smoothly lied, shooting Elijah and Marcel a look, silently commanding them to go along with his lie.

"He's always fancied her."

"Are you ready, Klaus?" Father Kieran asked.

"Yes, we're ready."

"Ready for what? Klaus?" Hayley turned to question him.

"Our wedding, love," Klaus casually replied, "the good father here is going to marry us."

"What?! No, Klaus." Hayley faltered as she turned to him.

"Sweetheart, it's not a request."
